Arab scents victory in battle to live among Jews

MOVING neighbourhoods to get the children a better school is hardly novel. But Adel Kaadan’s approach displays a certain élan. The Israeli Arab decided he would relocate to a town reserved exclusively for Jews to take advantage of its superior amenities.

That was the plan, anyway. Nine years on, his oldest daughter is nearly old enough to leave school and his expanding family has gone nowhere, frustrated at every turn in his efforts to leave his Arab town that reeks of raw sewage for an orderly, gated community.
